Our Short Story Unit
Here are our short stories and the assignments that go with them. One will be due each class. Please note: there are NOTES that go with each short story assignment. Be prepared: all of this material is on the unit test!
Unit test: Tuesday, April 7:
You will be given a short story and asked 9 multiple-choice questions (about theme, symbolism, vocabulary in context, point of view, plot, setting, narrator and character) and then given a literary paragraph to write about the story. The test is out of 15 (9 for m/c; 6 for the paragraph) and weighted at x3, so it is "worth" 45 marks).
I strongly suggest that you review the Literary Paragraph rules (and your grammar rules, especially about quote integration and sentence errors!) to help you get the best mark possible.
